Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Every Season 2 Episode Ranked

20. Go Fish

There are many things wrong with Go Fish, the most jarring of which has to be its placement in the season. Sandwiched between two of its most emotionally devastating instalments - including the finale - its flaws are made painfully clear.

Following Xander as he goes undercover and tries to figure out what's killing the high school swim team, the episode gets immovably trapped under its "drugs are bad" message and abysmal effects, which are aiming for Creature of the Black Lagoon but come off more like an amateur Halloween costume.

It's misplaced and misguided, making references to sexual assault and drug use without tact, and the results create perhaps the show's worst-ever episode.
